Key clinical point: Switching to personalized extended interval dosing of natalizumab did not result in recurrence of disease activity in stable patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).

Major finding: 84% of study patients extended the dosing interval from the standard 4 weeks to a 5- to 7-week interval. No patient developed gadolinium-enhancing lesions (95% confidence interval [CI], 0-7.4%) during follow-up. No patient developed new/enlarging T2 lesions or relapses during the 1-year follow-up and 1-year extension phase.

Study details: The findings are based on a prospective, multicenter, single-arm trial of 61 patients with RRMS.

Disclosures: The study was funded by the Brain Foundation Netherlands. The presenting author had no disclosures. Some of the coauthors reported ties with pharmaceutical companies.

Citation: van Kempen ZLE et al. Neurology. 2020 Jul 20. doi: 10.1212/WNL.0000000000009995.
